3" lift question please help!
hello i have 97 cherokee and am interested in, installing a 3" lift on the truck, my question is "do i have to extend the front brake lines attached to the calipers?"

stock lines work at 3", but just to be safe, and because it's cheap, go get you a set of new brake lines for a 95 wrangler. they bolt right up and are quite a bit longer.

I currently have a 3" lift and all you got to do if your worried is relocate the bracket, dont need to buy anything. But with only 3" you dont really need longer lines

You can also just take your current hard lines (make sure to be very careful on the very off chance that get tweeked or break) and bend them straighter to relocate them about 3" lower. Be sure to rescure them
